   Does Safari keep track of the random passwords it generates? Every now and then I sign up for a site and it doesn't seem to detect that I'm making a new account and so doesn't offer to save my credentials. I get to the next screen and now I've lost my randomly generated password!

     @bigzaphod If Safari generates the password for you it will save it in the iCloud Keychain/Passwords/Feature/Thingy. Usually by the domain that you're on.

     If it doesn’t, then it may be a bug related to how Safari determines whether or not the website has set up the account perhaps? cc. @rmondello

     @goatsarah @rmondello @bigzaphod I’ve definitely had the experience where I thought the new password saved and it did not. I wish I knew what to do in those circumstances to report it to Apple properly. My biggest gripe currently is that macOS doesn't give me my passwords list very often outside of Safari.
